Degrees and Certifications:
Mrs. DuBois
My name is Ms. DuBois and I teach 5th grade ELA and Social Studies at MCES. I graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (K-6) with a reading specialist certification. Reading is my passion. I believe everyone has the potential to love reading. Some people just haven't found that "one" book yet.
When I am not in the classroom I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love being outside in nature and exploring new places. Reading is my favorite solitary passtime. During the school year I can be found reading books my students recommend. I want my students to feel empowered and to know that I value and respect them as individuals.
I look forward to another year with my students. 2021/2022 may look a bit different than what we are used to, but together we are about to embark on a Mission Possible!

Updated COVID-19 Quarantine Guidance
There have been significant changes to the Strong Schools NC toolkit that affects the quarantine procedures our staff and students must follow if they are exposed to a positive case of COVID-19. Any student or staff member who is currently quarantined due to an exposure of a positive COVID-19 case may return to school or work tomorrow, unless the close contact is a housemate. We are able to make this adjustment because our district requires masks for all students, staff, and guests.

ACCESS testing for English Language Learners
North Carolina schools are required to administer ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 to all students identified as English Learners (ELs) in the spring of each year to determine their progress in learning English. Each student is tested in four areas: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. This assessment helps us monitor their English language development.

Updated COVID-19 Quarantine Guidance
Our district is continuing to follow the guidance and recommendations from the Johnston County Public Health Department, the CDC, and the Strong Schools NC Toolkit, and we will now adhere to a 5 day quarantine period for students or staff members who tests positive for COVID-19. This is a change from the previous 10 day quarantine time.
